12 year-old Australian ball boy Stephan White is being lauded as a hero in China, after he offered some crucial advice to Chinese goalkeeper Wang Delai - advice which saw him save a penalty from Saudi Arabia striker Naif Hazazi.

But when keeper Wang Delai turned around to see youngster Stephan pointing in the direction to dive, the striker saw his effort turned away. Cue joy all round - the ball boy can be seen happily bouncing around in the background too.

China went on to score the winner in the 81st minute, leaving young Stephan a mini hero in the Chinese press... so much so that the national side have invited him to meet the squad at a training session.
